"Come on now, I wanna boogie." - De-phazz, Boogie Philosophy
Prompt 06: Thelma & Louise
Who is the Thelma to your Louise? Who is your partner in crime? Did you reacquaint yourself with an old friend? Did you make a new friend? Or, perhaps, you are a lone ranger?
It was our 11th or 12th day abroad and we were sitting at the beach side bar of the Intercontinental drinking the first real drinks we'd had in Indonesia and about to have an excellent lobster meal, when I took stock of what had transpired.
We'd been married for six months. We'd lived together for nearly a year. We'd spent the most of the previous three years in a long distance relationship. Those, if they are going to work, require a nearly constant flow of communication and conversation. And not small talk but real talk. You don't stay up late or wake up early to tell a person what you last ate...most of the time, anyway.
And here we were, two weeks into a trip where we'd spent just about every waking moment together, in a country and culture that was not at like our own...and we still had things to talk about.
We still were delighted with each other's company.
We didn't get on each other's nerves.
She rolled with my under-planning of our days. I followed her lead and expertise in international traveling.
And through it all, we had incredible fun. Our kind of fun.
Tiffany B. Brown is my road dog.
